IZEA Appoints Digital Leader Patrick Venetucci as Chief Executive Officer
Pre-pandemic, I would have rated IZEA higher, however, post-pandemic showed upper mgmt's motives are not always focused on foundational support of the team, rather pushing employees toward burnout. While that has started to subside, there is a long way to go to return employee morale and rebuild.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
There are bonus opportunities (although you need to stay on top of them and ensure you advocate for yourself) and commission.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people are the best part about the company. They have become friends outside of work. There is incredible team work, specifically in my department.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The staff is the best part of the job. Though through COVID, the morale and culture has declined, I look forward to connecting with people in real life to maintain those relationships again.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Providing clear steps to achieving goals. They can start with increased support through hiring, training, and promoting teamwork. The current motto is "work harder" however, the team is lean and is working in overdrive to reach unrealistic expectations, heading towards burnout
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The support from upper management throughout the pandemic was non-existent. There was a toxic hustle culture that did not increase employee morale or provide support. While most kept their jobs, there was always fear of losing your job. While it's now improving with a culture mgr. theres a long way.
